    Looking for a company to manage social media for my bar

    I think everyone here has made some really good points. I'm going to reply from a different point of view. I run my own business (greetings cards and stationery), most of my friends are also self employed and can totally see why you think you need someone to manage your social media. You're...

    Hi all! I design and sell greetings cards online via NOTHS, Etsy and my own website and also via wholesale direct to stockists in the UK. The cards I sell online are mostly personalised so I print them in house on my Canon Pixma Pro 100. For wholesale I use a professional printers. I have...

    Help with wholesale pricing and VAT - meeting tomorrow

    So I should quote them the cost exclusive of vat and say 'not including VAT' When a retailer says they want (for example) 100% markup are they excluding VAT? So it would be my price ex vat + 100%, then they would add VAT to the price of retail? Haha can you tell I'm new to this 'business'...

    Is it rude....

    Oh dear, that certainly backfired! I guess you just need to gauge your client to see whether they'd be open to constructive feedback. I think I got lucky with this one :)

    Is it rude....

    HI guys, So I broached the subject and the business owner was grateful for my honest feedback and is now paying me to redesign his logo. Result! Thank you all for your feedback - he is even considering getting me to do a full rebrand including a new website. Thank you all for your feedback :)

    Is it rude....

    Unfortunately it has to be via email, as the client is in the USA. I'm thinking I may just knock one up for them at a low price as I dont want the logo to ruin the look of the business card! lol

    Is it rude....

    ...to suggest that some one needs a redesign? Hi all, A bit of advice please? A cake company, who is under going a rebrand, got in contact with me to ask me to design them a new business card. They sent me their logo which they have also just had designed and it is absolutely terrible! I...

    Should I use multiple platforms to sell my goods?

    Thanks you for your input Alan, I hadn't realised that about Amazon. I'll probably stay away from them! Having looked at Notonthehighstreet it seems you have to pay $199 to get featured, which unfortunately isn't in my budget right now. So I've decided to use Etsy and a little of Ebay. At least...

    Should I use multiple platforms to sell my goods?

    Hiya, Thank you for the kind words. I made it suing a purchased theme on Shopify and then editing it myself. Very easy to do, though the theme did cost $150 but think it was worth it as the free ones weren't quite what I wanted. If you need any help setting up let me know and I can give you a...

    Should I use multiple platforms to sell my goods?

    Thank you for all your replies- they have been very helpful. Having seen it written here I now realise that the answer was obvious it would be silly to limit the amount of people who have access to my goods just because I want them to go via my website. I like the idea of having a taster of...
